Tips

A primary source depends on: The person who has written the news should be there at the time.

Primary sources and secondary sources are very important for finding out the truth. The closer a person is to the event they describe in time or geographically, the more likely they are to be accurate.

3. Do Exercise3 to choose Ss’ understanding.

The primary source is the Garlic Wars because it was written at the time. I think Plutarch Life of Julius Caesar and Shakespeare’s play about Julius Caesar will have more opinion than fact because they were written long after the events happened.
